Since her marriage she became the victim of domestic violence, reason “Dowry”. Her in-laws gave her mental as well as physical torture in the family. Days went but torture on her didn’t stop. Finally her patience went in vain and packed her bags and came to her father house. But in last November, her sister-in-law marriage was finalized for that the mediator of Queen’ marraige and Nimai’s uncle came to Queen’s House to take her back. But Queen did not agreed, so they tried a lot to convince her and her family members at last they were able to convince her father and gave assurance that her in-laws will not torture anymore. Through mutual understanding between two families she was forced to go there and she took part in her sister –in – law’s marriage. One day shocking news was came that to Queen Father that Queen has burned herself. Victim’s Father lodged an FIR in Benupur, the SP forwarded it Jagatsinghpur Police station, for further inquiry. When Sanjukta heard about this news, she informed other EWR’s and all of them went to Queen father’s house, EWR’s gave their condolence and assured them that they will; fight to give justice to Queen and will punish the culprits. The EWR’s went to Jagatsinghpur to know the actual cause of her death, then EWR’s and Queen’s parents filed a case in the Women’ Commission, the immediate action was that the Jagatsinghpur Police arrested Nimai. After lot of hardship they were able to give little relaxation to her parents, but still Sanjukta & her team is fighting to give complete justice to the Queen’ parents.

Like this case she always came forward to protest against the violence and harassment and gave justice to women and girls. With the help of ALIBHA FEDERATION and MASS her main motive is to demolish women violence from the society.
